[quote=Anonymous]Try to have your husband talk to her about making things easier on you. For all we know he and she have this "my house is your house" type mentality like my husband started out having. "Oh, help yourself to anything!" And suddenly everything we had was depleted and never replenished by our extended houseguests, especially expensive, gifted teas, spices, etc. We've now gotten to a place where they chip in for groceries while they stay and we split meals out unless a holiday, bday, etc. This was key to establish before we had kids bc once that happened our household went from the two of us to 5: us, a baby, and houseguest inlaws that needed food, shopping, rides, tv time, etc. At least we weren't going broke with 5 people eating all the time! And I don't feel taken advantage of and stressed out playing hostess for 1, 2, 3 weeks.[/quote]
